3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Daniel Borkmann <dbork...@redhat.com>
[ Upstream commit 586c31f3bf04c290dc0a0de7fc91d20aa9a5ee53 ]
For sensitive data like keying material, it is common practice to zero
out keys before returning the memory back to the allocator. Thus, use
kzfree instead of kfree.
